Realtors in Midland

The buyer agreement has to state the broker's compensation and say that it isn't set by law and is fully negotiable. If you only want to see one house, a broker can show it without representing you under a non-exclusive showing agreement lasting no more than 14 days. TREC doesn't regulate commissions, and it can't force a broker to release you from a buyer agreement, so check the term and the exit before you sign.

At the first substantive conversation about a property, the agent must hand you the Information About Brokerage Services notice (IABS 1-2, effective January 1, 2026). Contracts use TREC's promulgated forms, which agents may fill in only with factual and business details.

Before a Midland showing, enter the agent's name in TREC's License Holder Lookup to see active status, any discipline, education and the sponsoring broker. Agents owe you a duty to put your interests above everyone else's, including their own. Complaints go to TREC in writing through its REALM Portal within four years and can't be anonymous. If a license holder owes you a court judgment they can't pay, TREC's Real Estate Recovery Trust Account can pay up to $125,000 per transaction and $250,000 per license holder.

The Midland Central Appraisal District, 4631 Andrews Hwy. (midcad.org), values Midland property as of January 1 each year, and the Midland County Tax Assessor-Collector, 2110 N. A St., collects for several local taxing units. Bills are generally due by January 31 of the following year.

• Under Tax Code amendments effective November 4, 2025, school districts must give a $140,000 residence homestead exemption, plus $60,000 more for owners 65 or older or disabled. Apply at the appraisal district, generally before May 1.
• Most value protests are due by May 15 or 30 days after the district mails its notice, whichever is later.
• Appraisal districts describe Texas as a non-disclosure state, where sale prices aren't reported to them, so ask your agent for comparable sales to support a protest.

These amounts are set by law and can change. Confirm current amounts and tax questions with the appraisal district or a licensed tax adviser, and contract questions with a licensed real estate broker or attorney.

About 336,000 homes sold in Texas in 2025, up 1.3 percent, and the statewide median was $330,000 in December 2025, per the Texas Real Estate Research Center. Those are statewide numbers; ask a Midland agent for local sales. Ask your agent to get you the seller's written Seller's Disclosure Notice; if a seller signs a contract without giving it, the buyer may terminate within seven days of receiving it.
